Hi,I did my VI on 7th October and haven't heard back, have you heard back since posting?
I am yet to hear back! I have been told we will most likely find out a week before the AC dates which are Dec - Jan and Feb - Mar.
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!

Given it’s the weekend, I would expect so as no one will be turning off the system during the day.The Travers deadline is 22nd October. Does that mean I can submit my app 23:59 on the 22nd?
Ended up submitting last night just in case hahaI hope so😅
Completed it 2 days after app openedCongratulations, that’s so exciting! I was wondering how long it was between completing the online assessment (and VI) and getting the AC invite?
Thanks this is helpful and love how detailed yopur posts are@Jessica Booker has already shared Jaysen's advice which I think it is pretty useful already. What I can add is something I already shared here which is:
- Read the article carefully once without taking any notes. Read it again and once you are done, write down what you remembered about the article. Read it again, and take notes whilst reading. Although it can seem repetitive, it will give you a very good understanding of what you read as well as the key points of the article. I got this advice when I was prepping for my article interview with Gibson Dunn last year and it worked perfectly for me, even though I did not have much time to do it!
- Look closely at the question. It does not only say to provide a general overview of the article but also to give key points. So I would divide my answer in a clear and precise, but concise overview; secondly, I would focus on three/four key points that the article highlights that are crucial to the understanding of the topic. I hope these tips will help you craft your answer! Although it is an unconventional question, I think it allows you to showcase your skills compared to other questions that some firms have so definitely give it your all and I am sure it will work out! Good luck with the application!
I saw someone post about an AC invite last weekanyone has update from linklaters? wondering if they’ve started inviting people to ACs?
They will review the mitigating circumstances and will look at the grades both in the PGDL and elsewhere in other academics to make a judgement on whether you can demonstrate what they are looking for.@Jessica Booker If a candidate had mitigating circumstances (i.e. health issues) and therefore they failed 2 of their PGDL exams, and then got a pass (54%) on those two modules on the re-sit attempts, and otherwise has mainly got merits on the other modules that they took, how would magic circle firms/top US firms view this? Would this hinder a candidate's application?
